Making a comeback from Chapter 2 Season 7, the Rail Gun returns to Fortnite Battle Royale in Chapter 6 Season 1, albeit with slightly reduced damage. Despite the nerfs, it remains a potent weapon, potentially offering a decisive advantage in the right hands.

Finding the Rail Gun isn't overly challenging, but its rarity necessitates a strategic approach. This guide details acquisition methods and provides a statistical breakdown to aid your decision-making.

How to Get the Rail Gun in Fortnite

Available in Epic and Legendary rarities, the Rail Gun isn't sold by NPCs. Your best bet is to scour Chests and Floor Loot. The abundance of loot locations in Chapter 6 Season 1, including Magic Mosses' loot caves and Nightshift Forest's hidden vaults, increases your chances.

Essentially, securing a Rail Gun relies on luck from Chest drops, but with numerous chests available, persistence should yield results.

Rail Gun Stats in Fortnite

Rarity Epic Legendary

Headshot DMG 180 190
Fire Rate 1 1
Magazine Size 1 1
Reload Time 2.37 2.2
Structure DMG 525 550
  • A high-tech rifle; charge it to fire a powerful single shot, effective against enemies behind cover.

The Rail Gun's charge time is approximately 3 seconds (hold the Fire button), with an additional 3-second hold before automatic firing. Accuracy is challenging due to the inability to cancel the charge and the constant movement of opponents.

While its structure and headshot damage are impressive, the difficulty in landing shots makes it less reliable than a Hunting Rifle with Heavy Bullets. However, its unique gameplay makes it worth experimenting with.
